[Verse 1]
C#m                           F#
Do you feel like you're the only one living on a prayer?
C#m                     F#
Have you ever tried to love someone who wasn't even there?
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m               F#
No one really knows
                   C#m
Where it goes from here
                    F#
But we all decompose
  G#
And slowly disappear
[Chorus]
C#        C#F# E      C#F#E

If evil lays his hands on me

Shine a little light on my soul
C#        C#F# E      C#F#E

Show me things I cannot see

           *    *     
Shine a little light on my soul
[Verse 2]
C#m                   F#
Go to places that you used to go
                           C#m
But they don't feel the same
                       F#
See the faces that you used to know
N.C.
But they forget your name
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m               F#
No one really knows
                   C#m
Where it goes from here
                    F#
But we all decompose

And slowly disappear
